Chapter 75: A Mistake in Judgment

“Zhan Wushuang, why aren’t you helping him?”

When the black-robed young lady saw that Jiang Yi was in danger, her expression turned cold immediately as she spoke to Zhan Wushuang. The two of them had been paying attention to Jiang Yi once they received the message from Qian Wanguan.

“I am not an ungrateful person, but our Zhan Clan has always maintained a neutral standing. If I am to make a move at such circumstances, it will bring trouble in the future. It will even affect the ‘chess’ game of the upper echelons.”

Zhan Wushuang shook his head and didn’t even move an inch. He stared at Jiang Yi and laughed lightly. “What’s more… didn’t you say he is superior to me? Who can actually hurt him?”

“Hmph!”

The black-robed young lady turned around in a fit and locked her eyes onto Jiang Yi. The reason why she said Jiang Yi was stronger than Zhan Wushuang was simply based on a hunch. Also, she just wanted to tease Zhan Wushuang. In her heart, she didn’t think that Jiang Yi could defeat Zhan Wushuang who was the current generation’s direct descendant of the Battle God’s clan.

“Boom!”

However, the next scene astonished Zhan Wushuang, the black-robed young lady, and Fatty who were all hiding in the shrub. Jiang Yi suddenly let out a palm strike that had this exploding essence force. The martial artist, who was at the ninth stage of the Cast Tripod Realm, couldn’t even withstand one move and got blasted to near-death.

“Swish! Swish! Swish!”

A whole bunch of eyes looked over. The two forces might have plenty of men, but there were only a dozen martial artists that were at the ninth stage of the Cast Tripod Realm. If Jiang Yi was able to easily inflict severe injuries to one of them, then the scale of victory would definitely tilt towards the side of the four great clans.

“He!”

After using the Exploding Essence Palm to severely injure his enemy, Jiang Yi didn’t even stop for a moment. He grabbed hold onto the momentum to viciously send another nearby stunned enemy, who was at the seventh stage of the Cast Tripod Realm, flying with his fist.

His current cultivation stage was at the fifth stage of the Cast Tripod Realm. When fusing with his black essence force, his strength had at least the horsepower of nine horses—equivalent to someone at the ninth stage of the Cast Tripod Realm fighter. It was a simple task to use his sneak attack—to severely injure a martial artist who was just at the seventh stage of the Cast Tripod Realm.

“It’s you?”

Jiang Qilin observed Jiang Yi for a moment and found his maneuvers familiar. He soon recalled the Exploding Essence Palm and shouted in fury from the realization. “I will kill you!”

“What are you dazing around for? Attack!”

Jiang Yi’s location was already at the side of an ally. This martial artist was initially confronted with an enemy, but he was distracted by Jiang Yi’s assault and forgot to attack. Hearing the shout of Jiang Yi, he immediately snapped out of it and coordinated with Jiang Yi’s attack.

“Bang!”

Jiang Yi worked together with this martial artist to severely injure the enemy. Before Jiang Qilin could approach him, Jiang Yi immediately channeled a wisp of black essence force to his calves, and his speed drastically increased. This time, he didn’t continue his assault but shot towards Fatty’s direction and dived into the shrubs in a blink of the eye.

“Qian Wanguan, I have helped you severely injure ten of their men. I shall leave the rest to you.”

After passing the message to Qian Wanguan, Jiang Yi immediately channeled his last wisp of black essence force and sprint away. After he unleashed the Exploding Essence Palm, the essence force within his body was nearly depleted. His black essence forces were nearly used up after the last attack, which was why he didn’t want to stay around any longer.

“Hey, Big brother! Wait up!”

Fatty got awoke from realization and quickly exclaimed, “Big brother! Take care of a few more individuals again! I can offer you more purple gold and tokens!”

Jiang Yi’s feet didn’t have any signs of pausing as he darted far away and vanished in a few blinks of the eye.

“This person is truly hiding his strength?”

The fatty blinked while looking at the direction where Jiang Yi vanished. He couldn’t help but feel frustrated, thinking that it was his loss. The result of the overall battle wasn’t important as his main objective was to use Jiang Yi to force the hands of Zhan Wushuang. But before Zhan Wushuang could step in, Jiang Yi already defeated ten people with ease.

Qian Wanguan murmured for a moment before smiling. He instructed one of his subordinates, “Pass the message down. Ask the clan’s scouts to find out about that person’s information. A 16-year-old who has an overall combat strength of a Purple Mansion Realm. Not a clansman of the Seven Great Clans and still have such talent? I made a mistake in my judgment.”

…

“Zhan Wushuang! Did you see that?!”

The eyes of the black-robed young lady were filled with excitement. She turned her head and scoffed at Zhan Wushuang. “I got it correctly, didn’t I? That youth definitely hid his true strength. He is definitely not weaker than you if he can use a single move to severely injure a fighter at the ninth stage of the Cast Tripod Realm.”

The bronze-colored face of Zhan Wushuang revealed a smile as he reached his hand to rub the head of the black-robed young lady. As expected, she dodged his hand; but Zhan Wushuang smile didn’t change as he nodded. “This youth is truly an abnormal prodigy. On the surface, he seems to only be at the fifth stage of the Cast Tripod Realm. If he can get into the college, I shall protect him as my subordinate.”

“Hmph!”

The black-robed young lady seemed to disagree with Zhan Wushuang. She turned her head and unwillingly said, “It still isn’t certain who is going to protect who.”

“That’s enough. Let’s ascend the mountain and head to the college!”

Zhan Wushuang glared at the battlefield and said, “Qian Wanguan is about to send out his reinforcement—the result of this battle is clear. Zhangsun Tunlong actually allied with a fool like Jiang Qilin? How can they be a match to the intelligent Qian Wanguan?”

A landslide began to present itself on the battlefield. A dozen of hidden men emerged from the nearby shrubs. When Jiang Yi intervened, the situation of the opposing force was already in crumbles. Now, it was like the collapse of the mountain.

“Alright! Let’s stop here! We admit defeat this time. Qian Wanguan, get out here.”

One of the two opposing Purple Mansion Realm martial artists suddenly roared, and everyone stopped. Since one of the forces admitted defeat, the other side had no need to keep on fighting ferociously. After all, the casualties would only continue to increase.

The fatty was beaming as he walked out. He had this harmless expression, and his combat strength was weak—but all the clansmen from the four great clans looked at him as the leader. Even the Purple Mansion Realm martial artist was looking at him.

“Fellow brothers. Didn’t I say that amiability is the way of wealth? Isn’t it suffering—all these fighting and violence?”

The fatty looked around his surroundings and saluted before looking towards the Zhangsun Clan’s young master, who was at the Purple Mansion Realm, and also at Jiang Qilin, “Since Young Master Zhangsun asked to stop, then we shall stop. I shall respect his decision. Of course, our losses this time…”

“There is nothing to see anymore!”

Zhan Wushuang was in a rather good mood due to the hilarious scene. He pulled along the black-robed young lady. He laughed wryly and shook his head while he walked. “No one can defeat that money slave in a negotiation. Zhangsun Tunlong and Jiang Qilin are about to bleed big time.”

Zhan Wushuang held the black-robed young lady with a single hand as he ran towards the peak like a shooting star. The others also quickly scattered; some continued looking for tokens while those who already had enough tokens went straight to the Mt. Spirit Beast College.

…

Jiang Yi already had enough tokens, but he didn’t go straight up the mountain. Instead, he found a secluded place to cultivate for four hours and only woke up during the evening time.

“Swish!”

With the black essence forces stocked up and half of his essence force replenished, Jiang Yi woke up with a growling stomach but had no choice but to sprint towards the peak.

After spending one hour, Jiang Yi reached the peak of the mountain when the sky was red as the sun set in the west.

This college is so imposing!

The moment he reached the peak, Jiang Yi took a glance and felt an intimidating presence.

The peak ahead was a flat surface, and it was so massive that he couldn’t see the other side of the edge. There were countless courtyards and lofts within his vision. Straight ahead was a spacious plaza, and a huge stone gate was erected in front of the plaza. The majestic “Mt. Spirit Beast College” words were carved on the top of the gate. They looked like dragons and phoenixes that flew around grandly.

There were close to 300 participants standing at the plaza along with over a dozen mentors. While they stood quietly, Jiang Yi came over and invited countless gazes at him.

“Uh… this unlucky star managed to pass the Blood Purge.” Jiang Henshui and Liu He gasped as they stared at each other with shrunken eyes.

They both had this premonition at the same time: if Jiang Yi was to enter the Mt. Spirit Beast College, the entire school would be turned into chaos by him soon enough.
